Behind the Flare: The Power of Collaboration in Indie Filmmaking by Mairead McVeigh and Alex Albion
The Herefordshire Visual Artists Network invite you to watch a short film by filmmakers Mairead McVeigh and Alex Albion called By the Flare. Learn about their artistic practices and what goes into making a successful indie film.
Maddie and Alex’s combines immersive technology, screen arts, installation and photography, drawing on a foundation in painting, fine art, illustration and fashion design to enrich my approach to film.
By the Flare, November 2024, Video Installation, is a five-minute nocturnal short film in a dark forest, a single flare lights the way as a group of women arrives one by one, bound by a shared purpose. Shadows close in, but unseen threats are kept at bay as they gather to summon the Mitochondrial Eve—an ancient force that can restore the land. Fear takes hold, leaving the audience to confront the mysteries lurking just beyond the light.
This event is part of the Herefordshire Visual Artists Network. Thanks to funding support from Herefordshire Council via the UKSPF programme, the Herefordshire Visual Artists Network is a network of visual artists working across the county who come together to share news about their practice, ideas for forthcoming projects, network, and update their skills via bespoke CPD training. The network is led by Gemma Moore, a young artist from rural Herefordshire.
